(0397) Sawanna sighed helplessly and said slowly: "This bead is called the Wisdom Bead. Of course, this is a Chinese saying. If it is directly translated, it is the pearl of Callevaro. It turned out to be a bead owned by the emperor of the Byzantine Empire and has been set in the crown of the empire. Later, the Ottomans captured Constantinople and renamed it Istanbul. The Byzantine emperor was killed, and the whereabouts of this bead in the crown are unknown. ”

Zhu Yilan looked at this pearl of wisdom from various angles. Unfortunately, she didn't find anything out of the ordinary. From the outside, there really is nothing peculiar about it. She couldn't help but say curiously, "What does it do?" ”

Sawana said eloquently: "The pearl of wisdom, legend can make people wise and wise. However, everyone knows that such a statement is just a pretext. Its function, in fact, is to embellish the crown, and there is no use for the actual surname. ”

Zhu Yilan looked at the so-called pearl of wisdom carefully and did not speak. Savana was lying to her, she could feel it. If it was just a decorative bead, it would not attract the attention of so many people. However, she didn't understand why Sawanna lied to her. When will the secret of this bead be solved?

"Well, I'll leave it to you." Zhu Yilan suddenly said gently. As she spoke, she really gave the pearl of wisdom to Savannah.

"Don't, I don't!" Unexpectedly, Sawanna's reaction was very intense. She jumped away almost subconsciously. It seems that this beautiful pearl of wisdom, in her eyes, seems to be a plague, and she doesn't dare to take it at all. Her violent movements surprised Zhu Yilan a little. Could it be that this pearl of wisdom is really that terrifying?

"I mean, when you return to China at the end of the year, pass by Ningxia Town and hand it back to Xu Xingxia. Only you know the secret of this pearl of wisdom, and if he asks, only you can answer it! Zhu Yilan said with a smile.

"I don't want it! I don't know anything! Savana flatly refused.

Zhu Yilan looked at the beads in his hand, frowned and said, "Is it really that terrible?" ”

Sawana said eagerly, "It's really that scary! It's even scarier than you think! You simply don't know how many people have paid for their lives because of this bead! Historically, almost half of the people who have touched this bead have died! Even Suleiman the Magnificent's younger brother died because of it! He went mad and died! It's terrifying! Suleiman the Magnificent therefore classified it as an evil object and ordered it to be sealed up permanently. However, it ended up being stolen. What's worse is that the guards who were in charge of keeping it are all dead. ”

Zhu Yilan was a little stunned and asked, "So terrible?" That...... How did it come about? Why is it in his hands again? Where did he find it? ”

Sawana said helplessly: "How do I know? If you want to know, you just go and ask him. ”

Zhu Yilan said a little bitterly: "Do you think I can still contact him now?" Can I still mention him in front of others? Now Jinyiwei hates him to death, even if I want to do things through Jinyiwei, I must not mention his name. ”

Sawanna nodded and said slowly, "That's right." He has indeed made a lot of trouble recently, and it is normal for some people to have some opinions. However, isn't the imperial court still inconclusive? Some people say that he killed well and deserves praise. Some said that he had violated the rules of heaven and should be punished. Your Majesty the Emperor, hasn't you always ignored this matter? As long as Your Majesty the Emperor doesn't speak, I guess this matter won't be conclusive, right? ”

Zhu Yilan suddenly said: "You say, will he really rebel?" ”

Sawanna frowned and said, "Rebellion? I don't think so, right? Why did he rebel? What is the purpose of the rebellion? If he really rebels, his relationship with you will be ......."

Zhu Yilan said nervously: "But, I don't know why, I always feel that he will really rebel." Really, I'm sure he'll rebel. I don't understand, why did he rebel? What grievances can not be appealed to the court? If he really ...... I, why can't I just think about my feelings? ”

...... "Official, do you really want to rebel?" At this moment, thousands of miles away, Xu Xingxia was also asked by a woman in the same tone. The difference is that this woman is not Zhu Yilan, but Tessna. She seems to be a charming Persian cat, curled up in Xu Xingxia's arms, enjoying the comfort brought by the warmth of men and women.

Last night's warmth allowed Tesna to fully taste the happiness of being a woman. After a brief period of pain, the initiative gradually shifted to hers. In the second half of the night, she was almost all destroying Xu Xingxia. At the end of the night, the two of them turned upside down, and they were like crazy. What was going on outside, the two of them had no idea at all. She is still hugging Xu Xingxia now, reluctant to say anything, and she doesn't want to get up.

Xu Xingxia said lazily: "Why did you suddenly ask about this?" ”

Tesna got out of his arms, straightened her towering chest, deliberately put it in Xu Xingxia's mouth, let him suck it casually, and said slowly: "I suddenly found out that you shouldn't live under a sojourner. You have your own army, you have your own territory, you have your own population, you should have your own kingdom. You can be the king yourself. Even, you can be the emperor yourself! What a thousand households or something, it's a joke! ”

Xu Xingxia said excitedly: "It's very tiring to be an emperor. ”

Tesna said casually: "Then promote a puppet to do it, and you can do it behind the scenes." ”

Xu Xingxia thought about it and felt that her suggestion was not bad. You can get drunk on the knees of a beauty and wake up to the power of the world, but you don't need to work so hard. For example, in the current Bayannur grassland, the Tuyuhun people are his puppets. Everything, Tuyuhun people come forward, and it would be good for him to give instructions behind the scenes. What the Tuyuhun people execute is actually his will. Even if the territory expands in the future, such a model can be implemented, which is simple and practical.

However, giving up the position of a thousand households, Xu Xingxia will definitely not do it. His foundation is actually still in Ningxia Town. A place like Bayannur Grassland, in game terms, can only be used as a sub-base. The main base of the White Clothes Army is still in Ningxia Town. To put it more far, if he really wants to sweep the world, he must have his back to the Ming Dynasty. Only by integrating all the resources of the Ming Dynasty can we have such an ability.

"You go back to sleep, I'm up!" Xu Xingxia got up, simply freshened up by himself, and came out of the golden sweat tent. Outside, the guards were the stragglers of the Eagle Cavalry. They were temporarily redeployed to serve as guards. The person in charge of the vigilance task was Zhang Yi, the deputy commander of the Eagle Cavalry Army. This young man is quite clever, and Xu Xingxia is also very satisfied.

Seeing Xu Xingxia come out, Zhang Yi came over a little nervously, and said in a low voice: "My lord, last night, some situations were ......."

Xu Xingxia said casually: "What's the situation?" ”

Zhang Yi hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "There was an assassin ...... last night."

Xu Xingxia was slightly stunned. Assassin, how is this term so familiar? He looked around, then at himself, and then at Zhang Yi. There were assassins last night? Trying to work against yourself? Damn, last night I just remembered going toe-to-toe with Tesna, enjoying the pleasure that women offer, and I really didn't notice it at all!

Zhang Yi hurriedly said: "Please also ask for forgiveness, it's all our incompetence ......"

Xu Xingxia raised his hand to stop him from continuing, and said slowly: "Don't blame yourself, I don't blame you." Let's talk about it in detail, what is the situation? What kind of assassin is this? How did it happen? ”

Zhang Yi said in a low voice: "My lord, please come with me!" ”

Xu Xingxia nodded and followed him. Zhang Yi took Xu Xingxia to a place about thirty zhang near the golden tent. Here, there are some messy footprints. Faintly, it seems that someone has fought here. Among them, the more obvious mark should be the trace of a person's buttocks falling to the ground. It is estimated that someone was knocked unconscious. If the guess is correct, it should be the Eagle Cavalry stragglers who are in charge of guarding the place have been attacked.

Sure enough, Zhang Yi said in a low voice: "Judging from the footprints on the ground, the assassin should be a woman." Originally, we had a brother stationed here, and anyone who tried to approach the Golden Tent from this direction would have been discovered. As a result, unfortunately, the brother was knocked unconscious. It was only during the outpost that we found out about the Assassins. Unfortunately, by the time we searched around, the Assassin was nowhere to be found. ”

Xu Xingxia said slowly: "Are you sure it's a woman?" ”

Zhang Yi said confidently: "There are many trace masters in our carving cavalry army, and we can deduce whether it is a man or a woman based on the footprints. We can also deduce the height of the footprints. If it is a man, the footprints left are not so shallow. Our inference is that this assassin must be a woman. However, her body was taller than that of ordinary women, probably as tall as Priestess Tessna, and perhaps a little higher. ”

Xu Xingxia compared Tessna's height in her heart. Tesna is already very tall among ordinary women. Even compared to himself, he is not much shorter. If the female assassin was a little taller than her, she was indeed quite tall. It seems that this female assassin is also a bit of a background. At that time, such a tall woman was not common. Actually, this is nonsense. If the female assassin had no background, would she rush to assassinate him? He nodded and said gently, "Go on." ”

Zhang Yi took Xu Xingxia and slowly moved forward along the footprints, and slowly explained: "This female assassin just took advantage of the blind spot of our torch and approached the golden sweat tent step by step. She also took advantage of the time difference between our patrols and our patrols didn't notice her. Here she stopped. I guess I stood for a while, then turned around and left. You see, these are the footprints of turning away. This footprint disappeared by the lake. ”

Xu Xingxia was a little surprised and said, "You mean, she dived up from the lake?" ”

Zhang Yi said a little embarrassed: "Our conjecture is indeed the case. Because, yesterday, our defense was tight on the outside and loose on the inside. If she had entered through normal channels, she would not have been able to hide it from our brothers in other positions. Unless it is within ten zhang. ”

Xu Xingxia was about to say something, when he suddenly remembered that the reason why the stragglers of the Eagle Cavalry Army were far away from the Golden Sweat Tent last night was probably because they heard the sound of him and Tesna's affection. This kind of thing, they will definitely subconsciously avoid it. In other words, I did get a little carried away last night. I didn't think that there was such a thing as an assassin in this world.

As for this woman, who she is, what background she has, why she came, and why she stood here for a while, and finally quietly retreated, it is not clear for the time being. However, it is certain that she must have heard the sound of her own intimacy with Tessna. Optimistically, she didn't move forward because she was shy. As for the unoptimistic estimate, that is, she has other plans and is not in a hurry to do it at the moment.

Xu Xingxia said slowly: "It's none of your business, it's me who was negligent." ”

Zhang Yi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. The first time he served as a vigilance, he was really embarrassed to make such a mistake. Fortunately, Xu Xingxia did not have any accidents, otherwise, his sin would have been great. It is estimated that when the time comes, the enforcement of military law will be inevitable. If there is no Xu Xingxia, it is estimated that the future of the White Army will also be bleak. Every time he thought of this, Zhang Yi felt that there were bursts of cold sweat on his back.

However, he must point out that the stragglers of the Eagle Cavalry are not really used to such a way of vigilance. No way, they are more inclined to take the initiative to kill the enemy than to silently guard. Xu Xingxia's side should have special professional guards. In fact, there are many loopholes in this temporary transfer of guards. If he encounters a professional assassin, Xu Xingxia's life will be in danger. Especially when he was negligent.

Xu Xingxia thought about it, and said expectantly: "What else have you judged?" ”

Zhang Yi said slowly: "She shouldn't have any malicious intent, and when she got here, she stopped." It was about five feet away from the tent. If she wants to strike, she must use a weapon such as a bow or a crossbow, or a musket. However, outside the sweat tent, she should not be able to accurately judge the position of the adult, and she should not be able to hit it with one blow. ”

Xu Xingxia nodded. He trusted Zhang Yi's judgment. If the other party is really an assassin and wants to be against him, it is absolutely impossible to stop here. Because, outside the tent, it is indeed impossible to determine the exact location of the target. His wheezing sound can only be used as a reference, and cannot be used as a target for a bow or a musket. It is impossible for a clever assassin to do such a risky thing. If the shot doesn't hit, she's finished.
